Letters To An Enthusiast: Being A Series Of Letters Addressed To Robert Balmanno, Of New York, 1850-1861 (1902)

""Letters To An Enthusiast"" is a collection of letters written by Mary Cowden Clarke to Robert Balmanno between 1850 and 1861. Clarke was a prominent literary figure in the 19th century, known for her work as a Shakespearean scholar and editor. Balmanno was an American enthusiast who shared Clarke's passion for literature and the arts, and the two corresponded regularly over the course of more than a decade. The letters cover a wide range of topics related to literature, including discussions of Shakespeare's plays, the work of other writers, and the state of the literary world at the time. Clarke also shares personal anecdotes and insights into her own life and experiences as a writer and scholar. The book was originally published in 1902, several years after Clarke's death, and provides a unique glimpse into the intellectual and cultural milieu of the Victorian era. It is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of literature and history, as well as anyone interested in the art of letter writing and the relationships between writers and their correspondents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
